  1. best hospital to work for in Washington state

    Hi guys! I was looking through this board and realized that last reply was a while ago. I'm still looking for recommendations for good hospitals/clinics to apply for in Washington State. Any changes to the previous recommendations? Thank you!
  2. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    One night, I had a pt who was very confused and disoriented. At one point, I wanted to see if the patient wanted assistance back to bed: "Sir do you want me to get you into your bed?" He replies, "I'm gonna report you! I'm gonna report you for propos...
  3. Oh yes. I'm starting to learn that Nursing has a tough way of teaching you how to do things. ^_^ Thank you.
  4. Thank you all for you wonderful replies-even the blunt ones ^_^. I had a long talk with my supervisor and one of my charge nurses and actually, the talk was mostly spent on sharing my feelings about the issue and them sharing their own experiences wi...
  5. Thankfully the pt was ok and the md was already made aware. From what I understood from my supervisor, no one nurse is being fingered for the issue. As she said, three other nurses missed the mistake so it can't really be blamed on anyone person. If...

  10. Am I to incompetent for nursing?

    I've started working at a telemetry ward in December-this is my first nursing job since I graduated. This week was the first week on my own. During my orientation, I was a little slow, but generally I think I was successful. Now that I'm on my own I...
  11. Please help! I'm scheduled to take my exam soon and I still can't find questions on delegating to other RNs. I've been using Saunders and Kaplans, and while they have several questions on assigning patients to LPN/LVN they don't have any guidelines f...
